The short story “The Most Dangerous Game” has always fascinated. Wikipedia lists dozens of adaptations for Radio, Movies and TV. The story is about the most dangerous quarry for a hunter.

Insurers are not hunters, they do not exactly seek out risk. Well, maybe they do seek risks. But insurers should be aware that some risks are more dangerous than others.

In late 2017, RISKVIEWS polled 200 insurance executives and they provided their opinion of how to rank a long list of risks that threaten insurers. The polling software, found at allourideas.com, asks participants to rank pairs of items and uses a complex algorithm to create a ranking of the entire list. These 200 executives, on the average, chose to rank about 80 pairs making a total of over 16,000 rankings performed.
